Restaurant bans young kids, says they’re too loud

After suffering through countless meals with whiny, crying kids for years, one restaurant will soon ban kids six and under, a decision that’s drawn cheers and boos from the deep divide between parents and non-parents.

The owner of McDain’s Restaurant, an “upscale casual” place in Monroeville, PA, recently told his patrons that the restaurant is “not a place for young children.”

“Parents have gradually diminished their cooperation,” he told MSNBC. He said babies can’t be expected to be quiet, preschoolers have “increasingly poor manners,” and parents become offended when a staffer tells them to shush their kid.

“If I had children of these ages I would never contemplate taking them to this place,” he said.
